The sum of the focal lengths of the objective and an eyepiece, In case of an astronomical telescope is equal to : ( final image is at $\infty$)

physics observing space: telescopes optical instruments : telescope the reflecting telescope optical telescope xx radio telescope and space telescopes

  1. The length of the telescope

  2. Half the length of the telescope

  3. Double the length of the telescope

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Answer is A.

The astronomical telescope makes use of two positive lenses: the objective, which forms the image of a distant object at its focal length, and the eyepiece, which acts as a simple magnifier with which to view the image formed by the objective. Its length is equal to the sum of the focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece, and its angular magnification is -fo/fe , giving an inverted image.
Hence, the sum of the focal lengths of the objective and an eyepiece, In case of an astronomical telescope is equal to the length of the telescope.

  1. 32.4 cm

  2. 42.3 cm

  3. 24.3 cm

  4. 30.24 cm

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$f _{0}=20cm$


$f _{e}=5cm$

$V _{e}=30cm = D$

$L=?$

$L _{D}=f _{0}+ \dfrac{Df _e}{D+f _e}$ $=20+\dfrac{5\times 30}{35}=24.3 cm$
